Q & A with Younique by Sylvia Guzman + Giveaway

I love supporting #GIRLBOSSES, I have featured Etsians, bloggers, and mompreneurs working toward their goals and making their mark. Today, I am happy to introduce you to my beautiful friend Sylvia Guzman. Sylvia and I have been friends since high school. I’m grateful that the two of us have had the opportunity to see each other evolve. We have had moves, jobs, school, found love, and we’ve both had babies; our phone conversations have changed a bit since becoming mamas (we may need to get creative to actually talk on the phone 🙂 or we just text).

I was excited when Sylvia told me she took the leap and started presenting for Younique. I have tried applying falsies, I’m not that great at it, so I was happy to support a friend and try out 3D Fiber Lashes. I LOVE how my lashes look when I use the 3D Fiber Lashes!!! I asked Sylvia if I could share her on my blog, and she said yes! After you read our Q&A you may want to check out Sylvia’s Instagram (personal account), I swear it’s one of the best IG accounts out there. Sylvia shares pictures of her boys, her love, and her love of Texas.

What made you decided to become a Younique Representative? I love makeup! I have a friend who started presenting Younique products a year ago and explained how much fun she had doing it. Guess what. I love fun, too! I obviously had to follow suit for all the makeup and fun and the opportunity to start a small business with no risk at all. Now that I am a Younique Rep, I am most excited about the quality of the products and the community of beautiful women I work with and serve. I love Younique’s message: Uplift, Empower, and Validate!

What are your favorite products and what do you suggest for everyday wear? Favorite? How could I choose? I love the complete portfolio of Younique products and enjoy finding just the right product for each of my gorgeous clients. Currently, for my own personal use, I adore the 3D fiber lash mascara, Beachfront Bronzer (Color: Hermosa), the lip stains (Color: Skittish), and the BB cream (Color: Honey). My everyday go-to look includes Moonstruck Mineral Concealer (Color: Fabulous), BB Flawless cream (Color: Honey), Beachfront Bronzer (Color: Hermosa), and one coat of the 3D fiber lash mascara. I complete the look with the Lucrative Lip Gloss (Color: Loveable). I love this makeup!

Can you tell us more about your parties? (I wish I could attend one, do you have virtual parties?) The parties are such an important part of my approach with the Younique business. I used the word “community” to describe the ladies who trust me for their cosmetic needs. We “break bread” with rich food, robust wine, and our favorite Younique makeup! I even have a makeup artist who gives mini-makeovers and tutorials on how to use some of the products I present. As you can probably tell, the parties are a lot of fun, but that’s not the only way to get a hold of Younique products. I invite family and friends to host a virtual party online where they can earn free makeup while sharing the product portfolio with their friends! Hosting a virtual party is as easy as going to my website. Once someone creates the virtual party, Younique will provide a link via email for sharing with all friends through social media.

With two precious baby boys at home, how do you manage business and babies? Younique allows presenters a lot of flexibility and I love this aspect of being on their team. I have a daily routine where I work on my business when they (my sons) lay down for a nap or quiet time. Literally, that’s all the time I need to promote daily, handle new orders, and try new techniques with the products. It’s easy, and really rewarding to help other women feel beautiful inside and outside!

I sure do have some tips to share! You would laugh. I sometimes practice applying the makeup at home and I walk around the house looking amazing like if I am on my way to fancy ball. Here are a few tips to get a flawless, summer glow: (1) start with BB Flawless cream and (2) apply the Beachfront Bronzer. If I want to go light on the makeup, I find that the 3D lash mascara, Moonstruck Precision eyeliner, and some lip gloss is just enough to make me feel beautiful.

I love love the cream shadows! Younique releases a new color every month! They are definitely a must have! They go on like a cream and dry like eyeshadow/ powder. The cream shadow will last all day with no creasing 🙂

RIGHT?!? Sylvia’s lashes are always amazeballs!! You said your lashes look like a drowned cat!!! LMAO Where do you come up with these things 😀
I’m horrible at false lashes 🙁 Thank goodness for fiber lashes 🙂
XOXO
